TalkTalk Free Broadband
I did my own research about TalkTalk Broadband after reading about it on these pages. Its a fair offer at £22 per month (if you apply for all the discounts & pay by deal of death DD) for telephone & broadband. The only problem which occurs more and more these days as governments create legislation to protect the big…

IBM/Lenovo
Last November I bought an IBM Thinkpad from Staples. Last week the DVD re-writer failed and I took it back to the shop. The Staples duty manager was less than helpful, explaining that they had never had to send "one of these" back and explained that it would be much quicker if I dealt with it myself. He gave me three phone…

Morrisons
Just got back from Morrisons. They have chicken fillets £5.99 BOGOF but they've been reduced to £2.99, which I thought was a good buy. When they went throught the till, the BOGOF wasn't applied, supervisor was called and the response was, BOGOF's don't apply to reduced items. When I pointed out that the reduced price was…

Parking at Leeds/Bradford Airport
I've just paid a fine for parking in the wrong place at LBA. I have no real complaint about paying, my grumble is that when I pulled up, the parking attendant was standing right by the side of me. I looked at him and thought it must be ok to park since he just gazed back at me. In the 2 mins it took me to load my…

As my heading says.... ]0800 Reverse charges £3.48 per call connected + 50p/min to landlines. ]They were done by the ASA because they didn't tell people this on the adverts in the telephone kiosks...they said 'People can check our prices on the web'...not particularly useful if you're in the middle of rainy Bognor at 1am.…

Passport
After reading about the new fees in the paper, just checked the current prices. What a rip-off. They go on about it being necessary due to incresed checks etc but if you are only renewing haven't these checks already been carried out? Yet another stealth tax. I think I would prefer a big increase in income tax, at least it…

On the bottom shelf various cuts of meat were displayed as reduced. These included raw meat, wrapped in plastic which in some cases was becoming loose. There was also some cut ham from…

lovefilm.com offer that's not an offer
Earlier this week I received an email from lovefilm.com stating if I came back to them I could get 3 months for the price of 1. Great offer. Was slightly confused though as I thought I was a customer but had been on a low usage tariff over the summer which was about to expire, so though great offer, who's going to refuse…

Advice Re Sale of Goods Act please
I thought I was making a sensible saving earlier in the year when I purchased a graded Philips laptop from a local store. The laptop was a Dixons group return, but was in perfect working order, and I made a decent saving off the price from PC World. Now some months later, I am having a few problems with the pc. Firstly the…
